If you're accompanying someone with medical PTSD to a medical app, you don't go off on them-especially over something stupid like their appearance. You definitely don't scream at them, then invalidate their trauma and belittle them for crying from fear. #TraumaAwarenessMatters

This is why I have trust issues and just take care of things myself most of the time. #TraumaAwarenessMatters

I really wish I had someone like Stef or Lena Foster in my life. #TraumaAwarenessMatters

I hate that trauma has made me unacceptable in the eyes of someone who is supposed to love me unconditionally. #TraumaAwarenessMatters

I have come a long way in my trauma recovery journey with hard work and God's love and grace. But I still need compassion and emotional support from people. I don't think that's too much to ask. #TraumaAwarenessMatters

But yet people can't find it in their hearts to do that for me. I'm not asking for much. Especially right after I get off the phone with them. If she had just picked up when I called back eight minutes later, I wouldn't be fighting a panic attack or on edge now. #TraumaAwarenessMatters

I make sure I'm available to them as much as possible. Even if I'm going to a musical or movie, I pick up the phone up until the event starts. After that, I will text with them if they need anything until I can call them again if the theater is mostly empty. That's what I did during Elemental. #TraumaAwarenessMatters

It doesn't matter where I am-including vacation! Trauma goes with me. Putting things first that aren't important at the moment just invalidates my trauma and feelings all the more. #TraumaAwarenessMatters
